Abstract
The subject of this paper is the study of pin connections in steel structures. The study of their response to loading has been carried out by the use of the finite element method. The unilateral contact between the connected members has been taken into account. The correctness of our assumptions has been verified by applying the basic concepts of the suggested simulation to a similar problem for which both computational and experimental data exist [1]. The linear response of the connected plates, under static loads, has been examined keeping under consideration the dimensions of the plates proposed by EC3 [2].
